On Thursday, January 5, the South African Weather Service issued two warnings: an Orange Level 5 warning for inland areas with prolonged rainfall likely and an Orange Level 9 warning for widespread showers and thundershowers along the province’s coast.
More than 50 millimeters of rain are anticipated, which might cause infrastructure damage and the flooding of communities and roadways.
Teams in charge of disaster management have been placed on high alert by the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta).
A level 5 weather warning is issued for uThukela, uMzinyathi, Zululand, Harry Gwala, Amajuba, Ugu, and portions of uMgungundlovu. The level 9 weather warning that has been published for low-lying areas might spell disaster for those that dwell there.
